Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“Coming home, it feels like paradise at last..the incommunicable longing, the one that existed before even we were born, the longing that swelled into life itself, the only desire that has deeply possessed the soul, for it is the beginning, the ending, and all the in-betweens....”

“A great soul like Buddha or Jesus wasn't just a lamp at the door; they were beacons. You and I may feel smaller than Buddha or Jesus, yet that is an opinion formed by out own egos. Spirituality, all the light being expressed through a human begin is equal, at least in terms of quantity. Why? Because light is a metaphor for the power of consciousness. Everyone's consciousness draws from the same underlying reality.”

“The soul, since by its nature, what it is, and is related to the higher kind of reality in the realm of being, when it sees something akin to it or a trace of its kindred reality is delighted and thrilled and returns to itself and remembers itself and it’s own possessions… Being in the presence of such beauty doesn’t just reverberate with the inner me, but also makes me want to pull that best part up and out of me, to strip off all that is superfluous and useless, and be the purest, cleanest version of me. By seeing beauty, I want to be beauty. When I see beauty, I have the sense that everything can change. I can start over. I can liberate the inner me. Plotinus then, imagines a kind of dialectic in which I am shocked by beauty, inspired by it, reverberate with it interiorly, and then resolve to impose more unity on my life, become less disordered, so that I slowly become like what I admire. Plotinus calls this working on your inner statue. Over the course of time, as I polish the statue and reduce the difference between me and the external experience of beauty, a kind of inner light pools up within me, an intellectual generosity, a spiritual magnanimity. At this point, says Plotinus, I am ready for the deep dive within.”
